Adding the ability to filter IBM DataPower entities by IBM MQ v9+ objects

Dynamic focus query supports only filtering by appliance, cluster, domain or service objects. It would be useful to have the option to filter IBM MQ v9+ objects using name and status (see the idea INSTANA-I-3384), e.g., entity.ibmdatapower.qmv9.na...
